I got Hankook H724' s they are 225/75r/15's , made a big difference from the bias plys that were on it. They were Kokers, but were 20+ years old and very cracked and hard.

I tried to match the grey on the car with Packard colors listed on the dealer samples, but none matched and I don't have any access to what the owner in 1991 painted the car with.

I got the trim rings from O'Rieleys Auto and they fit well and made the early 60's look come together. My rear springs are weak, but I like the look so I just take it easy on the humps and bumps.
